Bo Burnham - Country Song (Pandering) Lyrics






[Spoken:]
Where instead of people actually telling their stories, you just got a bunch of millionaire metrosexuals that have never done a hard day's work in their lives. But they figured out the words and phrases they can use to pander to their audience, and they list the same words and phrases off, sort of
Mad-lib style in every song, raking in millions of dollars from actual working class people. You know the words, you know the phrases.

Phrases like...

A dirt road
A cold beer
A blue jeans
A red pickup
A rural noun, simple adjective

No shoes
No shirt
No Jews
You didn't hear that
Sort of a mental typo

I walk and talk like a field hand
But the boots I'm wearing cost three grand
I write songs about riding tractors
From the comfort of a private jet

I could sing in Mandarin
You'd still know I'm pandering
Hunting deer, chasing trout
A Bud Light with the logo facing out

Hear that subtle mandolin
That's textbook pandering
I own a private ranch that I rarely use
I don't like dirt

[Spoken:]
One verse, one chorus in the bag
Now it's time to talk to the ladies
I am hoping my Southern charm offsets all these rape-y vibes I'm putting out

Good girl
In a straw hat
With her arms out in a corn field
That is a scarecrow
Thought it was a human woman, sorry

A cold night
A cold beer
A cold jeans
Strike that last one

I'm wanting you
I hope you're feeling me
Subtextually

We go to bed, you doze off
So I take your country girl clothes off
I put my hands on your body
It feels like hay,
It's a fucking scarecrow again

Like Mike's Evander-ing
Fuck your ears, I'm pandering
I write songs for the people who do
Jobs in the towns that I'd never move to

Legalize gerrymandering
Tolerate my pandering
You got a beautiful mouth
I got a beautiful

You dumb motherfuckers want a key change?

Thematically meandering
Emphatically pandering
I got a tight grip on my demo's balls
Say the word "truck", they jizz in their overalls

You don't know what land you're in
I'm in the land of pandering
And I'll be upfront
I do what I do 'cause I'm a total fucking cunt-ry boy

    D.... ....

    Jason Aldean gave it the fatal blow.
    Luke Bryan is raping the corpse.

    D.... ....

    @Water Turtle Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, George Strait?

    D.... ....

    Memorex996 Those are the G.O.A.T and its so sad that so many people hate country but have never actually listened to “real” country music, tho people like Colter wall, tyler childers and sturgill simpson are reaching a lot of people right now!

  13. D.... ....

    I like this gangly fuck.

  14. F.... J....

    Is there any country songs that is this good that I could listen on Spotify??! 😂

    F.... J....

  21. W.... ....

    Lol 😂

  22. 1.... ....

    You have to put in line about voting for Trump...

  23. L.... R....

    I unironically jam to this song.

  24. r.... t....

    So, I take your country girl clothes off.....

  25. S.... S....

    I think Bo secretly wants to be a country music star and is just trying to play it off, because he gets really into this

    S.... S....

    Lol no.. he's just a good entertainer. He's making fun of this stupid genre.

  26. L.... .....

    “I can sing in Mandarin”
    I would kill to hear that!

  27. A.... ....

    why is this legit a banger

  28. G.... L....

    That is a scarecrow.





    *IT'S A FUCKIN SCARECROW AGAIN*

  29. T.... ....

    "People who do jobs in the towns I'd never move to". Damn.

  30. M.... K....

    "Like Mike's Evanderin', fuck your ears I'm panderin'" might just be some of the best lyrics ever written.

  31. P.... P....

    Yes! This is everything that is wrong with country these days or really glorified pop country.

  32. A.... G....

    I cant give this a big enough thumbs up

  33. K.... :....

    bo is not really that attractive to me unless he is singing this song right here

  34. m.... ....

    The thing is, I still have an ironic love of shitty pop country songs that do all of these tropes. They're fun in an "I feel like drinking cheap beer and acting like a dipshit" kind of way. Love Bo for doing this. Definitely adding this one to my shit-kicker playlist!

  35. t.... b....

    *IT’S A FUCKIN SCARECROW AGAIN!!!!*

  36. M.... M....

    i love country but his voice is so good & its true ! lol

  41. a.... b....

    Am I trippin cause at certain angles the green lights look like weed

  42. k.... ....

    Can't seem to find this on spotify. Love it.

    k.... ....

    He didn’t release an album from this special

  43. m.... ....

    "I don't like dirt"

  44. G.... G....

    This is why I wish bo still did comedy

  45. R.... R....

    Ironically, he's pandering to a leftist audience with this parody song...

    R.... R....

    How about we don’t bring politics into this and just enjoy this funny song?

    R.... R....

    Country music is intrinsically right wing? Someone get this guy a political science degree! Shit!

    R.... R....

    looks like we got a butt hurt country fan

  46. K.... ....

    No joke, this song Is spot on for I live. And no Jews.......frickin funny!!

  47. L.... S....

    Morgan wallen

    I’m telling my kids this was Keith Urban

    w.... m....

    w.... m....

    w.... m....

    Honestly I laughed at your comment. Thanks 🙌🏼

  50. T.... ....

    "You dumb mfers want a key change?"

  51. J.... D....

    This song is basically the reason why i hate country music

    J.... D....

    What do you mean

    J.... D....

    @Wade Wilson He means Country sucks Deadpool.

  52. L.... ....

    “It feels like hay, it’s a fucking scarecrow again!” Every time I fucking die of laughter

  53. T.... G....

    I love Bo. This is one of the few songs of his I don't have memorized.

  54. T.... P....

    With lyrics

    T.... P....

    The Poo Bandit captions turn them on

  55. A.... R....

    Why is this titled "with lyrics", but there are none on screen?

    A.... R....

    Because the song has lyrics

    A.... R....

    Its in the caption sir

    A.... R....

    @Michael Calungsod No "Its" not sir

    A.... R....

    ProtatoGamer Gotta turn on the subtitles dumbass

    A.... R....

    @ProtatoGamer Yeah it is, turn on captions

  56. k.... s....

    ohmygod i want to go back to 2016 when this came out

  57. J.... ....

    1:47 "Like Mike's Evandering, fuck your ears, I'm pandering".
    That line is so fucking good. Some context required; Mike Tyson fought Evander Holyfield and bit his ear off in a boxing match. How do you even think of that?

  58. L.... L....

    He looks and sounds like my boyfriend in this video. Lmao.

    L.... L....

    Lisa Lyouni you’re a lucky one XD

  59. C.... H....

    do you know what lyrics are??

    C.... H....

    Captions

    C.... H....

    You have to turn the captions on yourself using the three vertical dots in the top right corner of the video

  60. D.... ....

    Why isnt this on spotify

    D.... ....

    DarkBlade15378 I think we should all email Spotify so they can make it happen

    D.... ....

    Because of netflix

    D.... ....

    Bo technically doesn’t own the rights to the songs, as they’re on a Netflix special

    D.... ....

    connor Why couldn’t you just agree with it? 😑

  61. T.... E....

    I love the key change so much

    T.... E....

    The first time I got to that part, I started laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.

  62. J.... S....

    I like country music but this is so true

    J.... S....

    I like real country. Most of the popular country is definitely pandering. I like that he does pay respect to real country prior to this song

  63. o.... ....

    I actually like country music and honestly this song is fucking HILARIOUS and it’s really good

    o.... ....

    y....you have a sense of humor?

    o.... ....

    فارس 😂

    o.... ....

    Same tho

  64. M.... C....

    Wow 100k views thanks guys
    Disclaimer: this is not my own video, copyright is exclusive to Bo Burnham

    M.... C....

    Michael Calungsod Where them lyrics? 🤔

    M.... C....

    @John Smith heyo, its in the subtitles/ captions :)

    M.... C....

    Michael Calungsod I thought you would have it at like the bottom. I mean atleast your clip only shows him singing and not like what happens before he starts singing and after

    M.... C....

    Michael Calungsod Also could you make an hour or ten hour version please 😊

    M.... C....

    Michael Calungsod I like listening to music to help me fall asleep and for while I workout

  65. S.... C....

    Ok I’m a rare sight of a southern girl who hates country music! This song was so funny I needed this

    S.... C....

    Not a scarecrow confirmed boys

  66. J.... S....

    The dislikes on this video are famous country singers

  67. K.... K....

    So is the “I don’t like dirt” line there because the natural rhyme would be “Jews”?

    K.... K....

    I love this whole song, I just don’t see many people commenting about it and I haven’t had that confirmed yet 😂

    K.... K....

    Probably because he is acting as a rich fake-country dude. So I think he is saying he doesn't like dirt. I might be reading too much into it though

    K.... K....

    @Adam Hadad Brunell probably both things

    K.... K....

    @Adam Hadad Brunell He's saying that Jews are dirt lmao

    K.... K....

    Timmy Siao I thought they where people

  68. K.... M....

    this is my favorite

  69. R.... L....

    Dont ruin country

    R.... L....

    I'd say he made it better

    R.... L....

    Sorry i over reacted yall

    R.... L....

    How can you ruin something that's complete shit. (Except shit like Johnny cash if you wanna count that)

    R.... L....

    Rogue Leviathen I can do you own better, suck a pp.

    R.... L....

  70. H.... I....

    Bo - "Rural noun, simple adjective"
    ME - "I KNOW THIS ONE, I KNOW THIS..."

  71. R.... ....

    “Legalize gerrymandering”

    R.... ....

    Russs Too late.

  72. S.... F....

  73. m.... ....

    This could go #1 on country radio today

    m.... ....

    mykoomy and it would be one of the best songs

    m.... ....

    m.... ....

  75. B.... G....

    “No Jews, you didn’t hear that.”

    B.... G....

    I'm Jewish and honestly the people in the mountains are nicer than the people in the city. I wear my Kippah all the time, so it's pretty easy to figure out that I'm Jewish.

    B.... G....

    G0yl Gone Wild Resurrected
    Lmao okay Nazi

    B.... G....

    @The Kingslayer how does stating facts that Jewish people themselves talk about make me a Nazi 🤷 please explain that to me princess 😂

    B.... G....

    It's a joke about the white supremacy that the bro-country genre tends to inspire

    B.... G....

    @Search Search I wonder who could be behind this post

  76. E.... ....

    he says "pandering" six times... lol

  83. R.... R....

    Every time I listen to this I laugh 🤣 I don't mind some country but jesus every single one mentions "beer" and "truck"

    R.... R....

    "A cold beer, with the bud light logo facung out."

    R.... R....

    I know this comment is old but try listening to Cody Jinks, Cotter Wall, or Tyler Childers. They might talk about drinking, and trucks but not in a checklist kind of way.

  84. o.... ....

    I dont why but I always forget about the damn scarecrow lines and it kills me everytime

    o.... ....

    oshikuru09 really? That’s the most meorable part for me XD

    J.... E....

    Mine to

  86. B.... V....

    The one dislike is Keith Urban

    B.... V....

    @Ghostdevil why because you added the next one? 😂

    B.... V....

    The other 7 are Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, Cole Swindell, and Garth Brooks.

    B.... V....

    @Wolfsschanze Music thanks for the list!

  87. J.... ....

    Show this to your southern friend and watch them question their interests

    J.... ....

    I'm from Georgia. I hate most country songs. This is an exception.

    J.... ....

    A G name some

    J.... ....

    I am a Texan. Lived here my whole life.
    Country is shit.

    J.... ....

    Pop country is retarded trash, but that's because it's made by the same soulless Yankee trash media that makes all the rest of the subhuman shit that passes for art in America. That's why real country people hate Republicans, CMT and Nashville actors as much as the commie scum from New York.

    J.... ....

    Lived in central Florida my whole life, only country songs I like are this and Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt.

  88. L.... V....

    The tune is actually nice tho

    L.... V....

    for Anne frank

    L.... V....

    Trent Hart oh damn

    L.... V....

    And that fucking change oooooof
